FR,ENCIL PAPERS. (Pram the Doile, dated nureday, March 304 -CONSTANTINOPLE, FED. 25.—1 t is affirmed that Lord Cochrane has arrived at Zante, but the Franks do not believe it. Mr. Stratford Canning is not yet come; it is supposed that the delay is intentional, he order to wait for the issue of cer tain negociations. It is true that .the continuance of the north winds may be alleged as detaining him at the Dardanelles, but then he might seine by land. Sir Hudson Lowe has for SOW time attracted the attention of - the • Fronk, and even of the Turks, at Pero. 'Time Greeks have done _nothing in the Morea tied Poona ; they have beaten the Turkish fleet be.fore Missolonghi, but failed in their chief ob ject of throwing supplies into that,place. Ibra him was making every preparation for an attack at the beginning of the month. 'rime Seraskier was obliged to give up to hint the command of the siege on his return, after which he set out for Solana, where he obtained some advantages. Coney, Fru. 2 4 2.—There has been another en. gagernent between the Greek fleet and the Cap tain Pectin. Captain Spencer, 'commanding the Wad, who was witness to the engagement, says, that from the inexperience of the Turks, who were the most numerous, time Greeks obtained a slight advantage. At the close of the 'battle, the command wars taken from the Captain who was to go to Constantinople before he took the road to Janina. Ibrahim has again sum moned Missolonghi ; but all his proposals have been rejected by thi; defenders of the place, Which has been again supplied with provisions. There is no truth in all that is said of other advantages obtained-by the Greeks. The diseases cruised by the climate, and the inclemency of the .season, make great havoc in the Egyptian army, and compel it to remain inactive. The dissen sions ornommg the Greeks continue, and, are, as they have hitherto been, the chief obstacle to the success of their cause. PANS, MARCH 20,-•-We have received letters from Constantinople, of the - 26th February. By an order of the Porte, all evil-minded per son, are seized, and sent on board the men of war fitting out in this port. They ore chained there by one leg, and each of then. receives 200 piastres to provide himself with necessaries be fore the squadron sails. The Greeks, it is said, have attempted to burn the Ottoman fleet near Lepanto ; but the Captain Dacha was on his guard, and dispersed the Greeks. One Turkish frigate only run aground on the coast. It is added, that an English ship, attempting to enter Missolongid with provisions, was vigorously repulsed by the Turks. Colonel Fahvier has lit , ;nn his expedition against Gulmea. 'The arrival of fiord Cochrane in the lonian Ishmds is pok en of, null the Mussulmen are much alarmed at it. Within the lust fortnight , there have been fre quent tires at Constantinople ; none of them has been considerable. Letters from POtras of the 10th February give serious apprehensions respecting the movements of the. Greeks in the Morea. They speak of the danger of Tripoli7.za, but without ally details of what the Greeks have undertaken. These same Jotters represent the state of the Ottoman fleet at very unfavourable, and give reason to doubt of a good understanding between Ibrahim and ,the Captain Nebo. The' heeds end ears sent from Salons to Con , stantinople have been placed in the first court'of the Seraglio, with to yaftn, stating that they are sent by aetischid Paella, being the fruits of an ..ettpedition against the rebels in Carlieli, who were defeated and dispersed. The MaSSUlratill army returned loaded with booty, after taking 140 heads and ears, and 40,000 sheep. Mr. S. Canning is expected every hour. The south witld is set in, and he cannot be far from .Constantinople.

It is said, that by a new treaty between France and Spahr, our troops are to remain for seve. nil • years in Barcelona, Catlin, Pampeluto, etc There may be some foundation for this re. port ; for, in the present circumstances, and especially at a time when fresh conspiracies are brought to light, the occupation of these places hy , our troops is too important u cheek upon insurrection for Fel dittund to consent to part with them. It cannot ha denied that tha presence of the French in Spain averts great mis fortunes.

Yesterday evening, at 7 o'clock, Mr. Jima the Coroner 'for -Westminster, und. a Jury of very respectable tradesmen, assembled at. the Salmationstavern, Tatestocise street, Covent-garden, to inquire into the causeatf the death of Charles Penny, aged 10, theaton of Mr. Penny, stay-maker, of the above street.- k apOeared, that about 1 or 8 o'clock yesterday morning, the neighbourhood was Manned by the report of a pistol, and the breaking of the glass of the windows both in Mr. Penny's house and in the opposite house of Mr. Stria,- An immediate inquiry took place, when it was discovered that young Penny had shot himself with a large holster pistol ; and, strange as it may appear, the pistol, after being discharged, had bounded from the youth's hand. and passing through a square of glass, crossed the road, a diatance atilt feet, and bounding against the window-frame of Mr.. Sniith's house s the lock separate d . from the pistol and went into the room, and the pistol tell into the street. The first witness who : was examined was Mr. 'Sniith. Ile said, my house is opposite to that of the father of the deceased ; about hi:My:let %even o'clock thiS Morning, my 'servant informed me that. Nome of the windows in the bed room had that moment been broken; I went into the street to ascertain the cause, and in the . repel I found 3 111:401 ; picked it up ; It appeared to have been recently dimeharg ed. I went up into my room, and found that tour of the squares of g lays were shivered, and in the fur th e r comer of the room 'Sound the lock of the pistol. .On looking abOut to endeavour to ascertain the cause, I discovered that a square Was also broken in Mr. Penny's attic window; I then thought the pistol might have , been tired by .some mis chievousboy, and I went over the way; I saw Mrs: Penny; told her what had occurred ; she was much 'surprised, and sent the boy up stairs, and he brought down word that Charles (the deceased) hsd shot himself; I then went up stairs to the room door, but finding it fastened in the inside, I entered by the win. dow, and in the morn I found the deceased lying on his back on the bed ; he was dressed; there was a large wound in the pit of' the stomach, and.. on account of the deceased falling on his back immediately.ufter the shot was fired, I apprehend that he bled. inwardly.. Mr. Smith added, that he found no ramrod in the room, and he was of opinion that the wound might have been eaueed by accident ; for instance, It the deceased had been forcing the charge. into the pistol, and had Incised the ramrod against his stomach, it was possible that it might have dis, charged by accident. lie knew that rooks were frequently seen atahe back pliant' the house, and, that Mr..Pently had tired at them himself; it was, therefore, passible, that the deceased was desirous of shooting one of them. If he had placed the pistol to his stomach to ram down the charge, time deceased might have held it in that position, that upon'being fired ow, it would force itself through the single square of glass. Mr. John Cole, a surgeon, of treat Ilussell-street, said he, was sent for about. eight o'clock in the morning ; he found the deceased lying on the bed', in the position he would have been' if he had been :sitting On the bed, aril fell backwards. There was a large gun shot wound in the pit of the stomach, three inches in length, and two in width. The ball had pressed through the body, and came out at the back ; he was quite dead. The parts about the wound were signed with gunpowder. John 'Paling, a workman, employed by Mr. Penny, slid he was engaged at work in the back room adjoining - that in which the dee:wed slept. About a quarter before seven, yesterday morning, the deceased came into that morn, and washed him self. He appeared not so cheerful as he used to be ; he asked all the men how they were, and, on quitting the room, he wished them a good morning. Shortly after he (witness) heard a noise, as if something heavy had fallen down, anti thinking it was occasioned by the removal of some lumber in the loft above, did not take any notice of it. The boy shortly after told them of the windows being broken. The door being fastened on the inside, he anti Mr. Smith entered by the window. The witness added, that rooks haunted the back of' the house, and several of them had been sloit by Mr. Penny. lie bad observ ed, that for the last three mondei the deceased had been (Ideat e ed and melancholy, and not of that cheerful and happy disp(- skim: he was formerly. ' fly a Juror—Do yon know that any thing troubled him or occasioned that oppression and melancholy 's Witness--I am not aware what occasioned that oppression of spirits; he did pay hie addresses to' a young woman, but I do not know thatthat depression arose on her account. Mr. W. Knight, of 5, Cornwall Cotteges, llollawey, said, the deceased was in the habit of visiting at my house ; I en couraged him, becanse he was a lad to whom I was Much met. tached. On Sunday evening he called upon me; he remained with me about two or three ours, and during th at time he im puted to he very much depressed in his spirits ; be spoke very little, which was very unusual. Ile seemed very agitated, and asked the Name questions two - or three times, without being aware he had asked them before. VO was always very com municative to me—opened to roe Isis mind, anti asked my opi nion upon any thing that COncerned his happiness or welfare. — KM on this evening he was reserved anti gloomy ; lie lett nie about 11 o'clock, turd my wife remarked tow ill and dejected lie appeared. In answer to some questions, put by the Jury, he said the'deceand did not visit any female at his house. Willium.Church said, the deceased wits an apprentice to Mr. Steele, of bray's balletic, where he (witness) was also em ployed : on Monday last, the deceased appeared very dejected, and scarcely spoke to any of the men : on Thursday evening, when the men left. work, the decreased foll Owed thou down to the street door; appeared egitate'l, and seemed anxious to communicate something to one of them ; but he,parted from theca ' without making that communication ; the witness was sure that something molded his mind, for of late he bad been altered in hisananner and heiteviour ; he was of is meek, quiet diaposition, end the witness Was certain lie would not have destroyed himself if lie had been sane ; the ball, after passing through the body of the deceased, perforated a three-inch board, • This losing the whole of the evidence, the Coroner said, there could be no doubt that the unfortunate young roan destroyed hitt:self; The only point therefore, they had to determine, was. whether he wa n insane when he committed die act. Ile lainente et the death of the nolatuoate youth, and although he was not de sirous of inquiring into those circumstances which had afflicted time deceased, anti occasioned that despondency and lowness of spirits, it wits neceseury that the Jury should tie satisfied of ho state of winch. The Jury said' they were satisfied, from the evidence they hall heard, that he was of unsound mind, and they accordingly returned the following verdict :—" That the d e ceased :shot noose; acing at the time in astate of temporary inertial derange:nem a."

CATHARINES, 1 5, Public Meeting of the Merchants of Montreal was held in that city on the 23d of January last, to take into consideration the expe diency of petitioning his Maje Sty's Governtnent to remove , some of the prohibitions and duties affecting the trade of Ca nada with the United States, contained in the Act, G Gco. IV. cap. 114, passed in the last Session of the Imperial Parliament, " to regulate the trade of the British possessions abroad," .at which several resolutions were read and passed unanimously, which were, in substance, as follow :—That a committee be ap pointed to frame a memorial to Earl Bathurst, tend to prepare the necessary petitions to the Legislature of Lower Canada, praying its intercession with his Majesty's GovernMent, to the end that the said Act may be 'so amended * as that the produce of the United States,. particularly all bulky com modities, such as timber and lumber of ail kinds, pot and pearl ashes, salted provisions, &C. may be brought down the St. Lawrence, and shipped from Canada in British vessels, upon the same footing as those of similar articles of Canadian ori gin. That the advantages which would arise to the country, from the large amount of freight earned by British shipping, &c. and the various other charges incident to the conveyance, sale, and trans-shipment of this produce, as well as by the fad lities afforded of paying. for British manufactures, would be very important; and that it would tend to develope the resources, increase the wealth, and greatly extend the commerce of the provinces, which, at present, was much impeded by the opera tion of laws hastily adopted, with due regard to tlic circuml stances of the country. That these restrictions, however wel intended, or adopted to other colonies, were extremely injurious to the trade and welfare of the province, which is confessedly Unable at present to furnish a sufficient supply of beef and pork, for its own consumption, and whose position, with re ference to the. United States, recommends even greater freedom of intercourse than was authorised previous to the pasaing of said Act. And that the advancement of the country, in popu lation, commerce, and general improvement, will essentially depend upon the early attention of the Home GevernMent to the present application for relief. The meeting was attended by the most wealthy and respectable merchants of the city, and the proceedings are highly spoken of by the editor of the Canadian Courant.

We doubt this report ; the delay may arise him preparing, arranging and copying doen. went, and in selecting those which may with propriety be made public. The President could not treat the represen. tativee of the people with no much contempt, as to refuse to obey their constitutional and expedient cell for infortnation ; besides, the people are aware of the fact that the call for this information emanated front the confidential friends of the executive, who by this movement. must have had one of two objects in view, viz : to obtain inforMation which the 'Presi dent was desirous of Affording, or to compel the Senate to de. cite upon the nominations on their table ; the first is legiti , mate and proper, the second a gross infraction of the rights of the Senate, and of the respect due to its individual members. We also observe with regret, two attempts in the Legisla hire of Maryland and.Pensylvanitt, to legtalatt!Upon this na tional point. These attempts may haveihad their origin at Washington, if so they exhibit the new • schools in a new and extriertlinary light.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER. FROM WASHINGTON. " In regard to the Bankrupt I3ill, I assure you it is not lost sight of, end a serious attempt will be made to pass it. The resolution introduced by the chairman of the judiciary commit. tee some time ago, has been suffered to be on the table,_ from an expectation that a bill would be reported to the Senate. Such a report it is understood, may now be very soon expected, as it is said, a Bill has been agreed on by the Committee. It is thought to be as well, considering the state of the business in the house, that the Bankrupt Bill should be first introduced into the Senate, as was the case formerly. " I believe it is intended to make several alterations in the bankrupt system, and to' simplify the whole as much as pos sible.. As to what classes it shall embrace, I learn that mer chants and traders shall be subject to a commission of bank. ruptcy, on committing any of the usual acts of bankruptcy; and that, as to other descriptions of persons, any one owing debts to a given amount, who shall voluntarily file a written declaration of insolvency, may render himself subject to the provisions of the act, and, by a compliance, entitle himself to a certificate of discharge. The reasons given for this extending of the system are, that no other bill can be passed; and, 2dly, that as the States possess the power, and most of them exercise it, of discharging the person from imprisonment, upon con forming to the requirement of State insolvent laws, there is no experience to prove that the remedy ag . ainst subsequent acqui sition of property, after finally discharging the person from mi. prisonment, is, in general, of any great value or importance to the creditor. " I learn also, it is contemplated to dispense, in many cases, and as far as possible, with commissioners, and to make the district Court the Office of Bankruptcy ; so that the principal part of the business may be there promptly and cheaply dispatched. The most intelligent English writers on the subject, now speak of the substitution of some other tribunal- instead of Commissioners, as the great remaining object as yet unattained in their system. An attempt will be made, also, to carry further than even by the new act, has been done in England, the principle of compromise; that is to say, that when one has been declared bank rupt, if a large majority, to be fixed, in numbers and amount of creditors, think fit to receive a certain proportion of their debts from the bankrupt's friends, in satisfaction of their debts , theymay do so; and the rest of ie creditors shall be bound to the like compromise. The object of this is to reinstate thc. bankrupt, in such cases, as speedily and with as little expcnce as possible, in the posseilion of his property and credits, and to leave him to settle his own affairs. In short, it is intended to extend and simplify the system, to recognize compulsory cases and voluntary cases; to get rid of all unnecessary apparatus and machinery in its administration, and to diminish the ex pence as much as possible. These are the objects, as far as I learn, contemplated by the Committee of' the House of Repre sentatives, and probably they will be all or principally em- L , braced in the expected Bill in the Senate." —(New York . Earning Post.) A Bill called the Usury Bill has passed the Assembly of Massachusetts. The principal provisions of this Bill arc, first, establishing the rate of legal interest at six per cert. ; second, empowering the debtor to prove usury by his-arch, unless the creditor prove no usury ; third, in :case of usury being proved, the creditor to forfeit the excess of interest over six per cent., with costs of Court if the debtor shall have previously made a tender of the principal and six per cent. interest; fourth, banks to forfeit their charters if they take more than six per cent. ; fifth, repeals all existing laws against usury.

In the early part of the m o r n ing s a report was in circulation, that Mr. CANNING'S interview with his MAJESTY, 0 " r i h is i r v o a u l t o e f r om rdispatches isp a t ih c i h a e t s from in msSt. consequence tersburg h o t e after a he had left town. It is, however, no w believed , that advices from Lisbon rep re s f n t the strength of the Qui:toes:party to be so much greater t han had been anticipated, that the direct interference of this country may be required, for maintaining the authority of the Regency against the po«er• ful faction by which it is said to be menaced. .

These reports ha ve been prevalent sinco 1 o'clock, and are cre• - clited by many persons concerned in South Arne' rican Commerce.
